Hours after US Supreme Court order strikes down levies, Trump says he signed 10% ‘global tariff’

Hours after the United States Supreme Court struck down global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Friday, President Donald Trump said that he has signed global 10% tariffs on top of the levies already in place.

“It is my Great Honour to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,” Trump said in a social media post.

Trump signed a proclamation imposing the temporary import duty, which will take effect on February 24.

The new tariffs will take effect for a maximum of 150 days, unless the US Congress approves an extension. This, however, leaves the status of recently-signed trade deals with other countries unclear.

With respect to India, Trump said that “nothing changes” and that the levies on New Delhi will continue. “They’ll be paying tariffs and we will not be paying tariffs,” he told reporters at the White House.
